  • Benelli TNT 15 Made its Official Appearance in Indonesia

    While we are expecting the Benelli TNT 25 for the Indian product portfolio, the Indonesian automobile market again took over us, as it is the introduction of a new product. The Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Benelli, has unveiled its 150cc naked motorcycle over the Indonesian ground. The 150cc displaced motorcycle has made its surprise appearance at an on-going trade fair in Jakarta, Indonesia. Well, the waiting of the quarter-liter motorcycle has now turned out into expecting the 150cc displaced naked motorcycle.



    Mechanically, the Benelli TNT 15 draws its power from a single-cylinder motor configuration with 2-valves; carrying an engine displacement of 148cc. The carbureted air-cooled engine has been coupled with a 5-speed gearbox. The power and torque figures achieved by the 148cc carbureted engine are not being disclosed by the manufacturer yet. Being a commuter segment motorcycle, the TNT 15 acquires pretty attractive curves and cues from the Italian boffins. An upright riding position has been given with the balanced seat height.

    The motorcycle is designed around a simple tubular diamond frame, which is further incorporated by Telescopic front forks and monoshock at the rear. The firm has installed 5-spoke alloy wheels with a 17-inch wheel size at the front and rear, both. The stopping capabilities come from asingle disc at the front end and drum brakes at the rear.

    Cosmetically, the Benelli TNT 15 exhibits a solo headlamp, newly fabricated fuel tank and exhaust tail, split seats and the most attractive part is the minimal bodywork acquired by the motorcycle. Apart from these, the other eye-candy feature is the under-belly color coordinated framework equipped by the 150cc engine motorcycle. In terms of technical components, the TNT 15 is blessed with a semi-digital instrument console.


    However, being a 150cc naked motorcycle, the Benelli TNT 15 doesn’t appear to be much hefty on the customer’s pocket. It is available in the market carrying a price tag of IDR 18 million(approx Rs 86,000).

        I like the tail lamp design...different & gives it an Italian look. The headlamp is almost like that on the Dukes.

          Yep. I like the tail too.
          And a Benelli for 90K doesn't sound bad. Thats as much as a FZ Fi.

            I like the tail lamp too! It's looks better than RS 200. If it reaches Indian shores, Gixxer and FZ gets a competition!

                    If i'm not wrong the Indonesia market has a displacement limit at 250cc regarding taxes. They even get the R25 and Ninja 250 instead of the 300cc ones. So i doubt Benelli would introduce a 250cc machine because it wouldn't make much of a price difference here.
                    The 150 might be a sane idea but is it feasible to import them?

                      More importantly, Benelli only has a handful of showrooms in India for a mass market 150cc bike. You cannot get volume sales that a 150cc deserves from 8 showrooms nationwide! Also do you want to enter a showroom where a 150cc is parked next to the 899 that you intend buying. Even Bajaj has separate showrooms for the bigger Kawas and doesn't sell it with the Platina!

                      So would Benelli be opening hundreds of showrooms just to sell a 150cc, also diluting its image of selling superbikes in India? We still live in a country where superbikers buy bikes for Snob Value!!!
                      Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

                        Personally, I don't see this model in India before at least a year. As Monk has mentioned, a 150cc is for the masses - specially at this price point. They need to build up a good network or get into any collaboration for after sales support. But the design looks cool and refreshing to me. Thing is some part of a bike will inevitably look like a different bike from another manufacturer. If a Benelli headlamp looks like a Duke's, tomorrow a Duke tail might look like a Benelli.
                        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
